Protecting your brain health — how well you think, learn, and remember — matters at every age.

This #Worldalzheimersday, we’re reminded that building small, brain-healthy habits today can help protect memory and thinking for the future.

There is no cure for Alzheimer’s—yet. But every new discovery brings us closer. In the 20 years since our founding, we've supported 325 researchers across 18 countries, enabling the world’s leading scientists to explore bold ideas & make game-changing discoveries. Research is the only path to a cure

Every discovery starts with a question—and 20 years ago, Cure Alzheimer’s Fund was founded with one: What if we could fund the boldest ideas in Alzheimer’s research, without delay or distraction?

I’m proud to share the 2024 Annual Report from Cure Alzheimer’s Fund. curealz.org/about-us/202...

It's great to get a reminder today that science is ultimately about wonder and joy — congratulations to all the winners of the 2025 #DanceYourPhD, whose creativity and energy are truly inspiring. I've had "Collective Phenomena in Ultracold Dipolar Quantum Gases" stuck in my head all day!

🎉 The overall winner of this year’s #DanceYourPhD contest is Sulo Roukka, who meshed lab experiments with dance moves under flashing lights as sequined lab mates analyzed hot chilies and mint with fancy footwork.

I’m looking forward to seeing colleagues from around the world at AD/PD. The conference always has a strong program of great talks from innovative Alzheimer’s & Parkinson’s labs. If you’re attending, I hope to connect & discuss where Alzheimer’s research needs to go next. #ADPD2025

Without future scientists, there is no future science, and it is through science we will develop new technologies and approaches to build a better future. The next generation of scientists can’t help us build a better future if we don’t foster them first.

Five years ago, early career researchers needed help to survive the pandemic. Now they need it again
A generation of scientists and their future work will be lost if the U.S. doesn’t act now.

What if we could have a world without Alzheimer’s? Our imagination and hope make us ask the question, and determination and science are what will take us from “what if” to “how.” Let's stand together for science! #standupforscience2025 @standupforscience.bsky.social
